Lyrics Larry Norman

Larry Norman

Watch What You're Doing

Mama killed a chicken, thought it was a duck

Put him on the table with his feet sticking up

Papa broke his glasses when he fell down drunk

Tried to drown the kitty cat, turned out to be a skunk

You gotta watch what you're doing, didn't you know

You gotta watch where you're going, didn't you know

Little joe billy went fishing for trout

Played hooky from school until the cops found out

Didn't have a father, was an only child

His mama never beat him, so he grew up wild

I knew a girl, sweet as can be

But she fell for a man like a chain saw a tree

She listen to his lies, fooled by his charms

Now she's sitting with a baby in her arms

Well everything's fine, until things get bad

Then you sit around thinking about the good times you

Had

Well it ain't no good to live a life of sin

If you don't shape up, you know you'll never get in

Some folks smile, they seem all right,

But you find out later they were an angel of light

Try to love everybody, but don't be blind

Because some kind of people try to mess your mind

Some folks say that the good lord is dead

That he doesn't exists, he's inside your head

I wonder how many gonna be surprised

When they look straight up

And see him coming through the skies
